RAFI Reavis has found a new home.
The 48-year-old Reavis signed a deal with Converge on Saturday that will allow him to play his 23rd season in the PBA.
Converge coach and Pampanga vice governor Dennis 'Delta' Pineda later confirmed that Reavis' deal is for one conference with an option to extend for a year.

Reavis was a free agent after he was released by Magnolia, a team that he played for 15 seasons.
Converge is in the final stretch of filling its roster for the Philippine Cup.
Aside from Reavis, the FiberXers signed their second round pick Kobe Monje, who has been released by his MPBL ballclub Valenzuela, allowing him to play just in time for the Philippine Cup opener.
In an interview two weeks ago, Reavis expressed confidence that he is still able to contribute to any PBA team despite being in his late 40s.
“I still have that athleticism. I can still move. I’m still strong. I’m still smart. I can still play this game. So while I have those abilities, I just don’t want to leave the game yet because I still have some work to do,” Reavis said.
“I’ll know when it’s time. But it’s not now."
